Day three of NaPoWriMo21: another erasure poem. The source for the last two are the same as this one – Observations on the zodiacal light : from April 2, 1853, to April 22, 1855, made chiefly on board the United States Steamfrigate Mississippi, during her late cruise in eastern seas, and her voyage homeward; with conclusions from the data thus obtained /by George Jones.

I’m using the text from the introduction to make an erasure poem, and overlaying that with the image plates. The collage is made as a response, and to try to thread through the idea of making a new type of space from old narratives.
